I've got some leads so there IS light at the end of the tunnel. I'm going to take a couple of weeks off and get my mind straight. The stress over the last 6 months has been brutal. Thanks to the Support Team, I have some cushion in the bank and unemployment checks for 6 mos. I've never collected unemployment yet I've changed jobs maybe 15 times in 23 years.
FWIW, the bossman called me in after I had completed jobs that others started but could not complete. I had overcome problems and made the customers AND the local authorities happy with the systems that had been installed. So, the bossman said and I quote, "Brian, you've done a really good job for the company, you've made customers happy and helped other employees in learning the trade. As owner, I do many things, including, firing people. You're fired." No reason or further explanation was given. :scream:
So, I said, "Now, something totally different!" I walked out, called the wife, cleaned out my truck, turned in my company tools and laptop and said a few choice words:debil: to a troll of a fellow coworker and announced, "Elvis has left the building":aj:.
Never been fired before, definitely different. Lou, you are so right, "Work is highly over-rated!"
